NoFucksToGive: I don't know about Bob's own but Bruce lee I am 100% sure.
It wasn't a hidden thing ,his uncles talked about it in interviews even.
The Lee family had been struggling with that curse or long . Bruce lee told his wife about it but typical American she laughed it off and didn't believe him
Kai! You don't even know what I'm talking about and you are in such a hurry to tell your story that you are not even reading and comprehending.
NoFucksToGive: It's not rumor. Bruce lee was s victim of a generational curse in the Lee family. His father warned him about it ,and his uncle too he tried all the native rituals to cure it but it didn't work. That's why his father sent him to America hoping the distance would make his some escape the curse ... The same curse claimed his father , it claimed Bruce lee too and Bruce Lee's son died at the exact same age as his father .
Go read up on it
Kai! You've already concluded, "It's not rumour", even though I didn't state what the rumour was? Isn't that wonderful? OK then, what was the rumour about Bob Marley? Was it also about generational curse?
This immediately reminded me of what happened to Brandon Lee in 1993. He was acting in a movie called The Crow when he was fatally shot due to an error with a gun that they were using in the movie.
His death was even more painful because CBN News had done a feature on him just a few weeks before the accident (CBN News was shown on Lagos Television in the 1980s and 1990s).
There had been uncountable rumours in Nigeria about the deaths of Bruce Lee and Bob Marley and those rumours resurfaced after Brandon Lee's death.
A woman has died and a man has been injured after actor Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun on a New Mexico film set.
Police in the US state said Mr Baldwin discharged the weapon during filming for the 19th Century western Rust.
The woman was taken to hospital but died of her injuries. The man, the film's director, was receiving emergency care.
Detectives are investigating the incident at Bonanza Creek Ranch, a popular filming location.
The woman has been named as 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins, who was working as director of photography. The man being treated is Joel Souza, 48, the film's director.
Police said their investigation remains open and active, and no charges have yet been filed in relation to the incident.
Ms Hutchins was a graduate of the American Film Institute and had been named a "rising star" by American Cinematographer magazine in 2019.
In a statement to Variety magazine, the International Cinematographer's Guild said Ms Hutchins' death was "devastating news" and "a terrible loss".
Police said sheriff's deputies were dispatched to Bonanza Creek Ranch at around 13:50pm MST (19:30 GMT) after receiving an emergency call about a shooting on set.
Mr Baldwin, 68, is a co-producer of the film and plays its namesake, an outlaw named Rust, whose 13-year-old grandson is convicted of an accidental murder.
King44: so what's now the truths cos what I notice was that the man was not trained, it's likely he has no certificate or merit to hold the post he is holding just appointment.
So if people claim that he is a repented boko member we may not be far from the truth
I'm going to use this as an example.
Isn't this just wonderful logic. You watched a video of a few seconds and then decided that you know that someone was not trained and had no certificate?? Can you prove your assertion?? And the next thing you say is that because you watched a short video you have decided that he is a Boko Haram member?? Based on what facts??
Do you also believe that he resurrected from death?
Don't you think it's necessary for people to use common sense sometimes?
LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT DIRECTS ASPAMDA CARETAKERS TO CONDUCT ELECTIONS IN 60-90 DAYS
The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has directed the Interim Leadership of the Auto Spare Parts and Machinery Dealers Association Nigeria (ASPAMDA) to conduct elections in the next 60 days or 90 days. The deadline is to end all the leadership crises that have bedeviled the market since 2018.
In a press statement issued in Lagos, the State government said that it was necessary for the interim leadership of ASPAMDA to conduct elections and end its protracted leadership crises.
The crises started in 2018 when the tenure of the last substantive leadership ended and its efforts to extend its tenure led to judicial contestation.
A high court in 2018 kicked out the former leadership in a judgment that was affirmed by the Court of Appeal.
Despite the judgments, the past leadership continued to hold sway. This led to bitter agitations. The State Government received a flood of petitions about the past leadership's refusal to obey court orders, refusing to vacate office.
The State Government, through the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, wrote the Inspector General of Police, requesting that Sunday Igboanuzuo and Emeka Chukwueloka be appointed Chairman and Secretary of the Caretaker Committee immediately, with the mandate to conduct elections to elect a credible leadership for ASPAMDA within 30 days, in accordance with the court judgment. The Caretaker Committee took off on the 20th July 2020.
The Caretaker Committee did not conduct elections within the 30 days or even the 90 days specified by the ASPAMDA constitution.
The State Government notes that the Caretaker Committee is rather bent on perpetuating itself in office without due process.
The above scenario has bred wide division, bad blood, tension and acrimony in ASPAMDA as a result of the self-perpetuation plan of the Caretaker Committee.
On Saturday, August 7th 2021, the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, summoned a meeting of all stakeholders of ASPAMDA at Lagos House Marina. After listening to all the stakeholders present, the Governor directed that:
i. the Caretaker Committee headed by Sunday Igboanuzuo with Emeka Chukwuloka as Secretary, should conduct election into ASPAMDA offices within 60 to 90 days; and
ii. that the Lagos State Government will provide security and other logistics that will enable the conduct of free and fair elections within this said period.
While the government will monitor developments to ensure this directive is carried out, it expresses the hope that this will end the protracted leadership crises in ASPAMDA and install an atmosphere of peace and harmony needed to maximise the business potential of ASPAMDA.
Gbenga Omotoso Commissioner for Information and Strategy
RECONSTITUTION OF INTERIM CARETAKER COMMITTEE FOR AUTO SPARE PARTS & MACHINERY DEALERS ASSOCIATION (ASPMDA) IN COMPLIANCE WITH JUDGMENTS OF THE HIGH COURT OF LAGOS STATE IN SUIT No. LD/2588/TCM/18 AND COURT OF APPEAL IN CA/L/2513/2018
1. WHEREAS, owing to the buildup of tension and threat to security occasioned by the state of affairs in ASPMDA and to prevent a breach of law and order in the market, Mr. Governor, by a letter dated 3rd July 2020 signed by the Hon. Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, set up an Interim Caretaker Committee sometime in June 2020 with the mandate to immediately conduct elections for new Executive Officers of ASPMDA.
2. WHEREAS, fifteen (15) months after constituting the Interim Caretaker Committee chaired by Sir. Sunday Igbanuzue, the said Committee has failed to conduct the elections for new Executive Officers of ASPMDA.
3. Serious agitation and discontent about the current state of affairs of ASPMDA is threatening to lead to a breakdown of law and order, owing to the failure of the Interim Caretaker Committee to comply with the directives of Mr. Governor that elections be carried out within 30 days of their appointment.
4. Consequently, Mr. Governor has directed the following:
a. Immediate dissolution of the Interim Caretaker Committee constituted by the State Government sometime in June 2020, chaired by Sir. Sunday Igbanuzue.
b. The reconstitution of another Interim Caretaker Committee comprising:
i. Chief Anthony Ughagwu - Chairman ii. Mr. Dozie Ezeugo - Secretary iii. Mr. Jonah Aneke - Chief Security Officer (CSO)
To hold elections within 45 days of their appointment and the elections supervised by the State Government.
c. The 45 days tenure of the reconstituted Interim Caretaker Committee shall not be extended.
5. Mr. Governor has furthermore enjoined Law Enforcement Agencies to ensure peace and orderly conduct is maintained during the conduct of the elections.
Signed Office of Hon. Attorney General & Commissioner for Justice

Officer in Viral Promotion Video Not Bandit – Customs PRO
Published 5 days ago on October 16, 2021 By Hassanah Ahmed
National Public Relations Officer of Nigeria Customs Service, Comptroller Joseph Attah has described a piece of news going around that a recently promoted Deputy Superintendent of Customs (DSC) in a viral rank decoration video was a bandit as untrue.
The National PRO who responded to misleading insinuations about the officer who was being decorated with his new rank and out of excitement lost coordination, due to what he called nervous excitement, disclosed that the officer was recruited in 2011.
He added that another picture of a suspected bandit being referred to as the same customs officer was the handiwork of mischief makers who never meant well for Nigeria while urging the public to ignore the wrong juxtaposition.
He said, “The attention of the Nigeria Customs Service has been drawn to a ridiculous video making rounds on social media platforms, comparing a newly promoted Deputy Superintendent of Customs and a bandit with an insinuation that the Customs Officer is the bandit that was recruited into the Service”.
“When this Officer in a nervous excitement could not get his acts together during decoration, resulting in various public commentaries, little did we imagine that mischief-makers would descend so low as to fabricate this evil”. He added.
He further said that “For the avoidance of doubt, the Officer in question was recruited through a rigorous process and trained in 2011 and has just grown to the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Customs, ( 3 stars )”.
“It is therefore very unfortunate that those who are bent on presenting the Country in a bad light could take a simple human error during decoration to ridicule his person and attempting to extend same to the Service and the nation. This is the handwork of unpatriotic elements that should be ignored. A good look at the pictures will clearly show that the Customs Officer is NOT the pictured bandit.
“NCS, therefore, urges all well-meaning Nigerians to ignore the ridiculous comparison and treat it as the work of those who do not wish the nation well” he added.
You must have seen a viral video where an officer of Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) was struggling to salute his superiors appropriately.
A viral post making the rounds on social media has claimed that the customs officer in the viral video is a “repentant Boko Haram member” who posed in a picture with Aminu Masari, governor of Katsina.
The post further claimed that the “repentant Boko Haram member” has been enlisted in the customs.
The post attempted to draw semblance between the customs officer in the viral video and “the bandit” who clutched an Ak-47 rifle beside Masari.
The post has been repeatedly shared on several Facebook groups and on WhatsApp. Versions of the post can be seen here, here and here.
Also, a Twitter account with the name Simon Ekpa published the post on his Twitter handle which has over 40,000 followers. The post has garnered over 36 comments, 616 retweets and 447 likes.
VERIFICATION
To verify the claim, TheCable carried out a reverse image search of the original picture.
The earliest version of the “bandit” picture seen by TheCable was posted on January 21, 2017 on a Facebook page. The caption of the picture(s) was written in Hausa language. The translation of the post stated that Masari was receiving a leader of bandits identified as Buharin Daji, called “Buhari of the forest”. Different media reports confirmed the name of the AK-47-bearing bandit as Baharin Daji.
According to the customs service, the officer in the viral video is a newly promoted deputy superintendent of customs who has been in the service of the agency since 2011.
In a statement, Joseph Attah, customs spokesperson, described the claim as a ridiculous comparison.
“It is therefore very unfortunate that those who are bent on presenting the country in a bad light could take a simple human error during decoration to ridicule his person and attempting to extend the same to the Service and the nation. This is obviously the handwork of unpatriotic elements that should be ignored,” Attah said.
“A good look at the pictures will clearly show that the Customs Officer is NOT the pictured bandit. NCS, therefore, urges all well-meaning Nigerians to ignore the ridiculous comparison and treat it as the work of those who do not wish the nation well.”
VERDICT
There is no sufficient evidence to back up the claim that customs recruited “a repentant Boko Haram member” as an officer. The claim that the bandit posing with Masari in a picture is the same person as the customs officer in a viral video is false.

DubaiLandLord1: What of the white lady who says she wants to play for Nigeria?
Which of them? It depends on who you are referring to. There are many mixed race Nigerians that have declared interest in playing for Nigeria.
However, there are two of them that the coach said that he would have liked to play in this match, but they are still waiting for approval from FIFA (they've played for other countries at junior level and FIFA has to approve their switch to Nigeria).

Super Falcons beat Ghana 2-0 in women’s AFCON qualifier
Sodiq Oyeleke 20 October 2021
The Super Falcons took a two-goal lead over Ghana’s Black Queens in their Women Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture thanks to a brace by Sweden –based forward Uchenna Kanu at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena on Wednesday.
The visitors had come close in the 11th minute when Grace Animah saw her fierce shot inside the box blocked by Onome Ebi for a corner. But it was much against the run of play and nine minutes later, Nigeria made pressure count when Kanu rose to meet a perfectly-weighted pull-out by Francisca Ordega and nodded past impressive goalkeeper Dumehasi Fafali.
Both teams, knowing the loser on aggregate will be without any major qualifying contest or tournament for the next two-and-half years, threw everything into the clash played behind closed doors on Lagos Island, but it was Nigeria that made the breakthrough again in the 26th minute, when Kanu rose highest in the box to meet Toni Payne’s corner kick and nodded firmly past Fafali and a clutch of watching defenders.
Former junior international Kanu could have added an assist to her impressive tally for the day when she darted past two defenders and squared for Asisat Oshoala, but Fafali foiled any intentions of the Nigeria captain.
Three minutes before recess, Grace Asantewaa unleashed from just outside the box but her shot rose far above goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie’s post.
In the second half, the Black Queens did something in the mould of throwing the kitchen sink at the Super Falcons, harrying, pushing, kicking and running all over to try and reduce the tally and make the second leg in Accra something to look forward to. But veteran defender Onome Ebi, youngster Opeyemi Sunday, Glory Ogbonna and Osinachi Ohale thwarted their efforts.
Grace Asantewaa was again foiled in the 50th minute by Nnadozie, who tipped her rising shot over the sticks. Two minutes later, Oshoala darted past her marker and headed for glory, but was again stopped by Fafali.
Ghana’s captain Portia Boakye was the usual energetic warrior with an uncompromising stance and worked well with Gladys Amfobea, Janet Egyir, and Ellen Coleman to minimize the damage from the Super Falcons.
At the fore, Princella Adubea, Vivian Konadu and Nina Norshie sought vainly to unlock the Nigerian rear.
In the 82nd minute, Fafali was on hand to neutralize a plan cooked by substitute Vivian Ikechukwu, leaving the scoreline still at 2-0. And with a minute to the end, the tireless Princella Adubea waltzed her way into the Nigeria box and found herself face to face with Nnadozie, only to see her close-range bullet parried and then cleared out to safety by Ebi.
Both teams clash again on Sunday at the Accra Sports Stadium, as from 4pm Ghana time (5pm Nigeria time), with the winner on aggregate qualifying for the 12th Women Africa Cup of Nations holding in Morocco next year summer.
